friend, w. S. Schellenger, called at the
Office to-day. Mr.. Schellenger has been
partially paralyzed on one side, his right

drunken boys were making night hideous
along Portsmouth street at late hour

beloved out with vigor that could be
heard square away. There seems to be

men, owing perhaps to the active advocacy
of the doggery interest by men who ought
to be be ashamed of it. Charley An

Board at that point, and reports the
schools running nicely, and without any
